Michael B. Jordan ("Black Panther," "Creed") stars as twins in Coogler's supernatural horror flick set in Mississippi, which has a near-perfect 98 percent fresh rating on movie review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.
Hailee Steinfeld and Delroy Lindo also star in the music-driven Warner Bros film, which has a cumulative domestic take of $122.5 million.
In second place was the 20th anniversary re-release of Disney's "Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith," with a whopping $25.2 million, according to data from Exhibitor Relations.
The result, one of the best ever for a re-release, "clearly demonstrates the audience and fan passion for this beloved franchise," said Comscore senior media analyst Paul Dergarabedian.
